Sure, they've made plenty of beers where hops and yeast are the star but moreso than many modern craft brewers, malt-led drops are a key part of what King River Brewing do. Afterall, they've won a trophy for a malt-led lager and their core range includes an altbier and a schwarzbier.
In the case of Red IPA, it's a beer that combines both a love for malt and hops, with the red copper beer providing lashings of toffee and caramel alongside stone fruit and passionfruit. Balancing all that out is a decent bitterness and a soft, textural body that carries the beer's big flavour. .
